A would-be thief was nabbed by the Saint John K-9 unit Sunday night in the east end of the city.
Police got calls about suspicious activity on Belgrave Street and upon arrival found a man going through vehicles looking for items.
He then took off on foot but the K-9 unit tracked him down and he will be facing theft charges at a later date.
Saint John Police say they did recover a number of items and if you are missing something from your vehicle and you live in that area, give them a call.
